Popping/crackling noise - top right side - MacBook Pro Early 2015

Sounds like something is hitting under the bottom cover? You can feel it tapping but I have no clue what it is? It has happened twice. I have been reading up on the threads but nobody has mentioned it for a while so am now wondering if a fix has been made? Has the issue been sorted/understood? What do I have to do?


Thanks

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

The fan is located on the right side. Either there is a small dent in the Bottom Case causing the fan to jam a bit or the fan bearing is just going bad. Either way you should get the unit serviced as you don't want the laptop to overheat.
